Welcome to Grand Adventure, a YouTube channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, nearly always filmed in stunning 4K.

We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and invite you to come along as we travel all around the western U.S. My wife Patricia and I, and our dogs Zoe and Maggie are avid boondockers, so you'll seldom find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds. Instead, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. And unlike most other RV channels on YouTube, we're not RV dealers or full-timers -- we're weekend warriors just like you!

We'll provide tips and insight on equipping and maintaining your RV, trip planning and travel videos to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!

Grand Adventure is the creative video outlet for Marc Guido, a 50-something outdoors enthusiast who first added an RV to his gear bag in spring 2017. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, he travels the western U.S. in his travel trailer with his lovely wife Patricia, and their overly-caffeinated dogs Zoe (a Labrador retriever) and Maggie (a rescued golden retriever).

Happy to! The way that I have that inverter powering our trailer, it’s powering everything — including the converter, which uses 110V AC power to recharge the trailer batteries when you’re in a campground with hookups, for example.

Your converter doesn’t know the source of the AC power, it just knows it’s got juice. It doesn’t know that it’s actually coming from the batteries. So if left on, the batteries are actually charging themselves on a closed loop. This will cause them to overheat and eventually boil. Best case scenario is that you ruin your batteries; worst case is a fire.

Turning off the breaker shuts off power to the converter. Does this help explain it?
